Movie Review Into the Blue

Into the Blue (2005) 

Directed by John Stockwell 

Written by Matt Johnson 

Starring Jessica Alba, Paul Walker, Scott Caan, Ashley Scott 

Release Date September 30th, 2005

Published May 24th, 2024 

1977's The Deep was a crowd pleasing beach thriller that evoked enough of the Jaws vibe from one year earlier to become a hit in its own right. With of-the-moment stars Nick Nolte and Jaqueline Bisset, the film captured the temporary zeitgeist of its time. In 2005, director John Stockwell remade The Deep as Into The Blue with an equally hot, of the moment, 2005, star, Jessica Alba, but none of the culture-capturing zeitgeist of the original, unless you count the uncomfortable evocations of the. at the time. very recent disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Leaving out such unintentional issues, Into The Blue was merely a dimwitted babes-in-bikinis thriller.

While it's clear that Jessica Alba is the real draw of Into The Blue, the star according to billing and screen time, is the late Paul Walker. Walker plays Jared, a part time scuba instructor with ambitions to get into the salvage business. Living in Jamaica with his girlfriend, Sam (Alba), Jared searches fruitlessly for sunken wrecks that could be worth millions.
